Who's not letting him be? And how does he get into the hall for being an ok dude? Reggie Miller is top 14 in points and got passed over thus far. He made it to the Finals and had plenty of playoff success overall.

Meh, we're just having fun.

The funny thing is, SJ, if you pay close attention around here during this year's playoffs, I bet you'll notice several users, including me, rooting for Carter to have good games because we want the Mavs to do well.

Carter is a big wuss. But he's a big wuss who I hope helps Dirk repeat.

too talented and too good of a dunker not to get in
I think he's a lock to make it, and he would deserve it, looking back at all his achievements
And who knows, his career is not over yet, there may be rings in his future, especially if Dallas manage to get their hands on both howard and deron this summer ...

vince was a better all-around player than reggie. His stats dwarf reggie's and he was a better defender too, at least when he tried to. And he wasn't just a great dunker, he may have been the best or second best all time.

And for all his faults, he was the easy going type who probably didn't step on a lot of toes in his career because he wasn't competitive. So he probably has many friends and few enemies, which is significant. Reggie Miller was a little more abrasive I think.

I dunno, he never made it far in the playoffs and hasn't done anything, really, in the past 5 years. Also, I will always remember him for the Game 7 missed jump shot. Had to get his degree in the morning...

Some of this stuff is personal. I don't like the way he left town either. And he could have had a better attitude before his skills started to diminsh.

But let's not gloss over all of those all star selections, I think he blew away all others some years in voting. He also changed the game and the way people think about it in some measure in that dunk competition...became someone that helped sell tickets and get the NBA more attention. You also can't ignore what it takes to put up that many points under any circumstance. Adding the ROY means something too.

His overall regular season record is 502-451, if you count all the games from all 5 of his teams (Toronto, NJ, Orlando, Phoenix, Dallas).

Thank you sir. I take it you claculated that yourself. I can't believe you can't just get a tally by googling Vince Carter win-loss record.

That's a mediocre record, with nothing much to show in the playoffs. He had a couple of attention-getting games in the Philly series that was ultimately lost, and that was only the second round. Had he done something to build upon that attention, then it might be more clear cut.

In any case - can someone point out a current inductee that had such a meh percentage of wins, especially without any notably outstanding seasons? If they are going to induct guys that consistently underachieve, based on dunking skills and popularity, then from what I've seen of past decisions, they will be shifting the criteria a fair bit.

Bernard King could dunk, was explosive, scored over 50 multiple times, scored 60 once, lead the league in scoring, was first team NBA twice, TNT analysts made him top 60 all-time, and he's not in the Hall. It's a more exclusive place than some people might realize, and one thing inductees have in common is contributing to some kind of team success.

Heh, i bet... it would be cool to see.

I just really know very little about the HOF, I don't pay attention. I was just talking about the anti-Carter that still happens. He might have not had the Kobe kliller spirit, but jesus, that was so long ago man... I just choose to remember the good years because those years.....holy shit they were electric to watch.

what made toronto popular the best way possible in the early 21st century (to americans)?

A) SARS
B) Vince Carter
C) G20 Riots
D) That Snow storm where lastman called in the army and made us all look like pussies
E) Free Health Care

yeah HOFer fo' sure.

VC best player in Craptors history, but for me most impresive is Raptors logo. when i was kid ( back 15 years ), i buy me first ball for basketball, with Raptors logo. I never see Raptors game before, or any NBA game but when i see logo is so biutiful
